    Ask nicely and you might convince Gis to drop the needle on this

    A rightful claim to fame from the Pier - Shaun Gibbons was the first to grace the decks with what became an absolute monster for years to follow and still packs the floors, c/u as George Blackwell

    For those of you within travelling distance of Morecambe for a soul-night, Mr Soul Promotions himself (Shaun Gibbons) is DJing tonight at the MVP's no doubt warming up for the main anniversary event on the 15th! I've had the pleasure of being a guest there myself, superb event, nice folk and great cross section of music - well worth a visit IMO

    Some memorabilia to share from Soul Promotions - Anniversary patches from 1983 right through to 1989.

    Brian Rae should have been in this photo with the rest of the Morecambe resident DJs, but as usual he was playing the bandit and the space invader games!!

    Spent many an hour talking complete nonsense with each other - they were happy times he will be sadly missed

    Baz Maleedys review re-posted here from Baz his comments in the thread - I couldn't have summed it up any better anyway! Great night, love the new venue - good to see my old pal Dave Shannon and all the other regular Culcheth faces.....it's an honour to be a part of the DJ team and I enjoyed every minute. See you all in May for the special event in memory of Karl Rhodes. not to be missed I'm sure it will be a night to remember. From Baz: Well, it was always a risk moving venues, but it’s one that seemed to have worked well. I loved the old venue because it reminded me so much of Lowton Civic, but it became impossible to work with the new management, so a move was the only option. It would seem that it’s done us all a big favour and we have a superb new venue, where we can continue to enjoy the music and friendships we’ve had for years. And that was what was sooo special about last night seeing so many had made the effort to come to the new venue and gave it a resounding thumbs up! The Northern room was very busy from the 'off' and it looked and sounded great, the Modern room looked and sounded great, although we may need to take the bigger room next month as it was packed! The music in both rooms was superb, so big thanks to the main room DJ’s, Kevin Murphy , Mick Howard , Robbo, Simon and Special Guest on the night Dave Shannon who’s love of the music is infectious. And the Modern room DJ’s Pete Ratcliffe , Tony Shawcross and Charlie Smith. I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed it, judging by the comments at the end of the night it sounded like they did. Hope to see everyone on May 6th for a night that’s going to be a little bit ‘Special'

    Maybe even a bit of this - dark horse that he is

    A recent find I happened upon coz I have their other 45 on the label (Love Shop) so I gave it a listen - both sides of course

    Diggin' around in the playbox - I don't really plan a set really (probably explains a lot LOL) I just have a few in mind and see how it goes like this one:

    Be great to see you Martin I'm sure one of the guys will help you out

    A particular favourite of mine - I know this one was a c/u for Guy as Harold Melvin (perfect)

    Sadly I never made it to Stafford at the time but I tend to gravitate to sounds I later learn featured there!! I believe this was one of them

    A note from Shaun Gibbons following the sad loss of Chris King: I was shocked to hear the news that Chris King had sadly passed away. Chris and I were not close friends but I always respected him as a fellow promoter. Chris always put his money where his mouth was and brought over some fantastic artists like the Ric Tic review at Hinckley, which was fantastic. My thoughts and prayers at this time are with his family and friends. RIP Chris from Shaun Gibbons and all the team at Soul Promotions

    We're going to take the opportunity to post some memorabilia from Morecambe, hopefully interesting and also might bring back some memories from those who attended: This is one of Richard Searling in the spotlight behind the decks Mr Soul Promotions himself Shaun Gibbons taking requests

    An interesting piece of video on the Morecambe Pier all-nighter from 1984 with commentary from resident DJs Richard Searling, John Vincent and Soul Promotions Shaun Gibbons................well worth 5 mins of your time

    Event News: Last months Ukrainian saw the place absolutely rammed from early doors which is becoming the norm, we will now be running from 19:00 until 00:30 to help us deliver even more rare & underplayed soul on the night and squeeze in an extra DJ here and there - to be fair, with the Ashton faithful turning up at 19:15 anyway it isn't much of an announcement but please get there early to get your favorite spot in the arena We'd like to add a big thanks to all our attendees (regulars and newcomers alike) - it wouldn't have the magic without you all.

    I hate to even proffer this solution but a sizeable reward for safe return may be a sensible option if indeed the thieving ***** didn't steal to order and thought they could offload easily! Worst case if this is true is the records get dumped - so worth a try??????? My heart goes out to Ted - a terrible thing to happen and distressing on many levels.

    Following the sad news of the loss of Chuck Jackson Shaun Gibbons has asked me to post this memory on his behalf:
  25. Eddiefoster

    Shaun Gibbons messaged me today and asked me to post a review on his behalf as a self confessed technophobe Last night without a doubt, has to be one of the best nights I've ever had at the Ukraine club, well done to Chris and all the guys outstanding. Ps keep it up (please) Shaun Gibbons.
